The dgaf build of a Subaru

[axelillo_PR]

looking good.

if i could find a shop with that setup I'd move asap.

I would probably murder op and take that shop. But seriously the 510 should be the one getting built, too much want.

^^^^ this, I have been blinded countless times by civics with HID's and each time I want to strangle the driver of it.

On my old car, I had some mad forward rake due to differently sized wheel wells, so with some aiming my HID's were not blinding.

that's the point he's making. You can't aim HID's properly without a projector housing, which your headlights won't have unless you do a retrofit.

^^ this may be true but not for every account. not all housing will cause an insane glare when running hid's, i know this because my roommate sells kits as well as led light bars, if you aim your drivers bulb to the right and down just a tad even on hi setting its no worse than driving past a lexus or bmw with projectors blaring at you.

mind you tho i do **** when i drive past a lowered civic or whatever with bright ass blue hid's. the way i see it is installing these hid's will make driving a lot safer since my night driving vision currently is only 35 yrds.

i wasn't planning on it, plan on getting the newer 97^ style headlights but in black housing style. but besides with properly aimed set of hid's or headlights in general you wont blind people.

Neat little build.

I know this is a dgaf build, but please, don't use HID's in the factory reflector housing. You're just going to blind everyone else on the road while giving yourself eye strain.

Love it man. One of my favorite subarus by appearence.

As for the Racelands, the Ultimos ride just fine. I have the same ones on my 04 wrx. I know they aren't KW's or anything fancy but they do work. Decent for a budget.

thanks for the feedback! this is my second set of raceland's first being just normal ones so curious to see a difference in the ultimos

just a little update to keep the thread going. haven't done much since im waiting on finding some wheels that i like then ill put all the suspension and brake stuff on.

did put my rack setup on which looks good and functional. the blobeye WRX is my roommates.

and here's a quick shot of of shop we have/ currently live in. 2700 sq ft, but about 650 sq ft is our house. not bad for 2 20 year old guys ....Fast & Furious anyone?

I like where this is going keep it up

Thanks for the support! your 2002 is awesome, had one of those a couple years back they are one the classiest cars imo

Came for the Subaru, stayed for the 510, good luck with the build....

thanks

on another subject, im looking for wheels now but haven't found anything that really grabs my attention. thinking something around 17x9 30 et with a 205/40. i would love legit wheels but for this build might go with a decent knock off but something not commonly used in the subaru world.

What kind of ej22 is it?

Is it the plain old NA one out of the legacy, or what?

Seems pretty cool so far. I like the OEM+ thing that's going on so far.

yeh its just the plain jane ol' trusty ej22 na phase 1. i would love the 22b or something but for just a cheap motor to refresh and get decent fun power out of in a na platform i think ill enjoy it.

in for this, certainly better than i was expecting from the title

thanks, yeh the title kind of throws it off a bit but maybe people will catch on

From one Subaru guy to another - looking good man.

Appreciate it a lot thanks.

so just been waiting on some parts to arrive which finally did yesterday.
I know people **** them and bag on them constantly but for what i want out of this car i think these will do the job. hopefully the Ultimos ride a little better than the regular ones.

so shiny

saw this rack on another subaru forum, its just some universal one off ebay. qaulity was decent and came with a shit ton of clips etc

also picked up a basket cause i like the look of them on slammed cars, which mine isnt yet

annnnnd because the stock dim yellow H4 bulbs dont cut it in a 20 year old car i bought these as well. 35w hi/lo Hid kit 6000k

and this damn little piece took forever to come! my 4" shift extender.

i dont know who worked for subaru in the 90's and decided that putting a nasty rubber boot was a good idea but ripped that sucker off and put my new suede leather one on.


also put my wheel in, i don't like how i have to get rid of cruise control cuase its connected through the oem steering wheel so ill probably try to fab a mount to hold the controller elsewhere
anyways end result looks good i think and feels great!

and to leave you off with some eye candy. my Datsun.
